The Championships New Dates Confirmed

The Championships New Dates Confirmed

Touch Football Australia (TFA) has today announced that The Championships has been rescheduled to occur from Friday, 30 May to Sunday, 1 June 2025.

Originally scheduled to take place this week, The Championships was postponed due to severe flood warnings off the South-East Queensland coast caused by Category Two Tropical Cyclone Alfred. The safety of participants, officials, staff, and spectators was the top priority for TFA – with the national championship event postponed for a tournament experience under safer and more enjoyable conditions.

One of the most anticipated events on the domestic Touch Football calendar, The Championships will revisit Coffs Harbour in May following a complex rescheduling process with limited date options due to the availability of C.ex Coffs International Stadium and upcoming international Touch Football events. We would like to thank City of Coffs Harbour for their support in this process, and to NSW Touch Association and Queensland Touch Football for their support around disruptions to State of Origin preparations.

We would like to thank the Touch Football community for their patience and support as we worked quickly with City of Coffs Harbour, C.ex Coffs International Stadium, and all relevant stakeholders to navigate this process and reach a swift decision. We will continually seek to improve the experience for our members and explore further contingency planning options for future events.

TFA acknowledges that the decision to postpone The Championships had substantial ramifications for our players and teams, and we understand that participants will be eager to rebook accommodation and flights for the revised dates. We recognise our members are respectful and compassionate with a community-led focus, so please have patience with providers in the Coffs Harbour region as they continue to deal with the continued adverse weather, causing untold damage on a personal and professional level.

We look forward to welcoming our Touch Football community to Coffs Harbour in May for the next iteration of The Championships, with further event information communicated in due course.

The Championships is proudly supported by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW and City of Coffs Harbour.
